Claus Berg
Claus Berg (ca. 1470 – ca. 1532) was a German sculptor and painter who is remembered for his workshop in Odense and his decorative work in Danish churches, especially altarpieces and crucifixes. His finest work, the altarpiece which now stands in Odense Cathedral, was designed at the request of Queen Christine for the Franciscan abbey church of Gråbrødre, which she had chosen as the burial site for her husband King Hans and herself.
==Biography==
Born in Lübeck in the north of Germany, Berg possibly first worked as a sculptor in Veit Stoss's workshop in Nuremberg.〔("Claus Bergs altertavle" ), ''Odense Domkirke''. Retrieved 31 January 2012.〕 He was invited to Denmark by Queen Christine, arriving in about 1504 to head the workshop in Odense, one of the most important in Europe at the time, where he coordinated the work of his 12 assistants until 1532. The queen took great care of him, giving him Apostelgården, a nearby farm, as a home and, by some accounts, providing him with the company of one of her maids as a wife.〔(Johanne Duus Hornemann, "Pragtstykket i dansk kirkekunst" ), ''Kristendom.dk'', 15 November 2006. Retrieved 31 January 2012.〕 In 1507, he is mentioned as a citizen of Odense and in 1508 and 1510 as a painter in the queen's accounts. The decorated choir in Odense's Gråbrødre Church, especially the altarpiece which can now be seen in Odense Cathedral, is the only work which can be directly attributed to Berg. It appears to have been undertaken at the request of the queen who wished to prepare the Gråbrødre Church, which has since been demolished, as the burial site for her husband and herself. Other works have been ascribed to him on the basis of their style, for example the altarpiece in Sanderum.〔(Ulla Haastrup, "Claus Berg" ), ''Kunstindeks Danmark & Weilbachs kunstnerleksikon''. Retrieved 31 January 2012.〕
Berg's son, Frants, whose godmother was Queen Christine, became a priest at St Nikolaj Church in Copenhagen and later Bishop of Oslo.〔
